#TAAP / #PRATHIMA is being developed for the #ISRO-JAXA #LuPEX (Chandrayaan-5) mission.
It will measure lunar regolith temperatures and thermal conductivity deeper ( 20-30 cm) and for longer periods than ChaSTE did on Chandrayaan-3 plus help detect water-ice mixed in the soil.
Yet another outstanding achievement by ISRO and a proud moment for our nation.
The successful launch of GSLV-F17 carrying EOS-05, Indiaโs first-ever imaging satellite from Geosynchronous orbit is a reflection of the excellence, innovation and growing capabilities that define Indiaโs space sector.
The growing partnership between ISRO and Indian industry is adding new strength and scale to our space programme and expanding Indiaโs capabilities across the entire space ecosystem.
Mission Success!
GSLV-F17 has successfully accomplished its mission, placing EOS-05 into the intended orbit.
Sharing a few memorable moments from the lift-off.

GSLV-F17 overperformed! ๐๐ฎ๐ณ
Its cryogenic stage achieved a 31,026 km apogee vs 28,934 km expected, saving EOS-05 onboard propellant.
ISRO Chairman Dr. V. Narayanan says this boosts mission life to >9 years from the planned 7 years!
A Pakistani C-130 flying away from its home base towards deeper parts of Pakistan during OP Sindoor.
Now I have 2 theories for this:
1) High-ranking officers, high-value equipment/documents, or simply the aircraft itself were relocated away from frontline bases to protect them from Indian strikes.
2) Since the aircraft is clearly deploying flares, it might have been trying to draw a lock from an S-400 system so the Pakistanis could pinpoint its location, effectively using the C-130 as bait.
But hey thatโs just a theory of filmโฆโฆโฆ(IYKYK)
I love this video of Super Heavy coming in for the catch because it really shows just how aggressive the deceleration is during the landing burn! ๐ฅ๐ฅ

Well damn... this part of NASAโs new Artemis II video genuinely got me๐ฅฒ.
Thanks to everyone involved in such an inspirational mission. With so much coverage of the negativity in the world, wow was it nice to see such a brilliant spark of the positive. ๐จโ๐๐ฉโ๐๐จโ๐๐จโ๐ ๐ซถ
Complex regions with complex magnetic fields are approaching the east limb of the Sun and fire one CME after another. Will there be something left for us?
WOW! Yet another spectacular eruption on the E solar limb, the third in the last few days. It also produced a spectacular CME. If this activity happened a week later, we'd be on the receiving end of a number of incoming CMEs - and in for potentially some wild geomagnetic storms. Alas ...
